Forum participant’s opinion

«Speaking on behalf of the UNECE I should say that this Forum is very important for us. It gives us the opportunity to present to the participants who represent authorities and the private sector the content and the importance of the Industrial Accidents Convention. This Forum gives us as I said a great opportunity to share our message with the participants and we are active in several frameworks to talk and discuss about the Industrial Accidents Convention. In general such conferences are very important, moreover, they provide different countries and stakeholders with an opportunity to discuss industrial safety problems and challenges.»
